This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on David Hume's work, the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and discusses his contention that we cannot know causes and effects in any a priori way (or as a relation between ideas), but only through experience, that is, in a posteriori manners.

Your videos about David Hume have been so helpful, thank you for posting them!
You're very welcome!
Absolutely love your videos, I love readings the texts, although they require time to understand and to re visit, but your videos have been a massive guide to myself in understanding. Love the passion behind the teaching
I’m very glad to read that the videos have been helpful in understanding the texts
Hi Dr. Sadler! I appreciate this video very much as a college student taking Philosophy that finds it very confusing and hard to understand. This was a great and easy to understand explanation of Humes critique on cause and effect. I will most likely be referring to more of your videos in the future!
Glad it was helpful for you. No, go back to the text and grapple with it some more!
We indeed find them useful. Thank you!
I am teaching a chapter on causal arguments tomorrow in my Argumentation class and this helps in refreshing my memory of Hume's argument regarding the source of this kind of "reasoning". Thank you!
you're very welcome!
Thank god for these videos! Saved my ass when writing my paper on Hume part 4. I'd like you to go into the part 2 of part 4!
Glad you found the video useful.
Easy enough for you to look through the channel for other videos
Great erudition and delivery
Thanks. Mainly just striving to stick with the texts
Thank you; experience and restrictions.
You’re very welcome
hello Dr. Sadler.
Just finished watching the last four videos on Humes ideas of causality. And when I try to think about this issue, I cannot see how causality can start from empirical experience. Yes there is experience of causality, but how could you experience it, without a pure concept first. In other words, there must be something pre-reflective. To me, Hume seems too much of a psychologist.
Good Lessons Dr. Sadler.
thanks

Hume seems to think that we get both the individual connections - this cause with this effect - and the general idea of causality not through any one experience, but through a number of interconnected experiences.
@@GregoryBSadler Hello Dr. Sadler for your reply. I need to think about this.
New sub😀💙💙✌
Hello professor, I am asking too much than I should but could you be extremely kind to teach the 'Introduction to Philosophical Analysis ' by John Hospers. I would be extremely grateful.
How is that relevant to this video?
It's not sir, I loved the lecture, but it was my way to interact with you as I am not aware of any specific ways in which we could communicate with you other than these comments. Anyway, I am extremely grateful to you for all the service you have done to humanity through these videos and I very much respect your work.
Love and Respect,
Sahil Sharma :)
@@Sahilsharma-ce4ow You do know that every channel has an About Page, right?
@@GregoryBSadlerOh Sure, Sorry for the oversight!
I Know, that I should go along with Hume, but its too late for me.
That's all right - there's no requirement that everyone read everyone
